Beserk Gunman of the Month

[Detroit Stylin]

Oh. Neither do they own Firms that manufacture automatic , military style weapons nor have deep pocketed lobbyists in congress to line the pockets of right wing politicians to ease regualtions on firearms, make them more accessible and less liable...

[Detroit Stylin]

So how is that for the average thug in the D who really couldnt give a damn about politics?

[terryh]

A gun isnt going to do any good unless you get 'the jump' on a robber or home invader.Unless you are super quick on the draw and a great shot, being strapped isnt a safety guarantee. Guns can be fun to shoot , shooting at clay pigeons is a blast-no pun intended-but if an enraged-unstable individual goes on a rampage, what is the likelyhood of the shooter getting clipped before pumping out a barrage of bullets?

[Meddle]

what is the likelyhood of the shooter getting clipped before pumping out a barrage of bullets?

Little to none. And what happens downrange of all the vigilantes' line of fire? How conscious are they of their field of fire?

[Papasito]

Home protection should have thought put into it. Choose ammo that will stop the intruder but not go through them, the wall behind them, and into your kid sleeping in bed. Wildly blasting a Dirty Harry style oversized handgun that can blow a hole through someone, travel through two walls, and hit your neighbor is just plain stupid.

12G, short barrel, .00 Buck

You don't really have to aim, they won't get up, and there's little risk to anyone else.

oh oh, it must be the muslims again, right?

I'm not usually one to tell people what to do, but you might want to consider relocating to a safer neighborhood.

Well Shock and Awe.....I actually agree with dude on something....

[ejames01]

Home invasion could happen anywhere.

[Papasito]

you might want to consider relocating to a safer neighborhood.

multi million dollar homes in gated communities are robbed.
so are apartments in the city as well as suburban households.

FANATIC NUTJOB ENVIRONMENTALIST LOSES IT
AT DISCOVERY TV
9/1/2010

"A gunman with a possible explosive device strapped to himself entered the Discovery Communications building in Silver Spring, Md., Wednesday afternoon and was holding an undetermined number of hostages, police said. "

“I want Discovery Communications to broadcast on their channels to the world their new program lineup and I want proof they are doing so. I want the new shows started by asking the public for inventive solution ideas to save the planet and the remaining wildlife on it,” the alleged manifesto reads, adding:"Nothing is more important than saving ... the Lions, Tigers, Giraffes, Elephants, Froggies, Turtles, Apes, Raccoons, Beetles, Ants, Sharks, Bears, and, of course, the Squirrels. The humans? The planet does not need humans.”

Lee said he experienced an ‘‘awakening” when he watched former Vice President Al Gore’s environmental documentary ‘‘An Inconvenient Truth.”

[Meddle]

The humans? The planet does not need humans.

Well, that part's true. I won't argue with that at all.

[Johnlodge]

Snipe this guy. We don't need to pay for his upkeep, plus per his own manifesto, we'd be doing the planet a favor.

[Meddle]

Snipe this guy.

Ask and ye shall receive.

[barnesfoto]

While we're at it, some of you on this thread, like our friend Pito, have been on the same wavelength as this guy about "overpopulation" . [[Naturally, most of the folks who yammer about "overpopulation" are referring to people who are some shade of brown, rather than themselves).

If you too are concerned about overpopulation. consider leading by example and [[1) getting a vasectomy [[2) Remaining a lifelong virgin and bragging about it like 53 year old republican candidate John Mark Coney of Orlando, FL or

[[3) killing yourselves, to directly reduce overpopulation

[Johnlodge]

Since Gannon isn't here yet, let me tell you that this guy was actually programmed by Bildebergers as part of the Georgia Stones depopulation conspiracy.

A lot of people were upset about American Coney Island beating out Lafayette. Could the Food Network be next?

Lee said he experienced an ‘‘awakening” when he watched former Vice President Al Gore’s environmental documentary ‘‘An Inconvenient Truth.”

Papasito, Don't forget that when the FBI raided Ted Kaczynski's Montana cabin, they found a very worn and marked up copy of Al Gore's book Earth In The Balance. Of course, Ted was an ecological bomber rather than an ecological gunman so this may be a bit off topic. This isn't to disparage Nobel Prize winner Al Gore because, among other things, he would probably be more than willing to buy carbon credits from the carbon credit exchange he is a major shareholder of to offset all the houses and cars he owns.

Remaining slightly off topic, this week's Business Week had an article about how New Zealand sheep farmers have reduced their flocks from 70M to 40M sheep because it was more profitable for them to plant some trees to obtain some carbon credit cash for not growing food. If every country could be as progressive as New Zealand in the spirit of Al Gore, Ted Kaczynski, and the Discovery Channel gunman, then we wouldn't be polluting the planet with all the food production. The massive resultant starvation of 'various shades of brown' poor people, as Barnesphoto put it, would be genocide of course but from the perspective of Ted Kaczynski and the Discovery Channel gunman, it would be more efficient than random individual bombings.

:"Nothing is more important than saving ... the Lions, Tigers, Giraffes, Elephants, Froggies, Turtles, Apes, Raccoons, Beetles, Ants, Sharks, Bears, and, of course, the Squirrels. The humans? The planet does not need humans.”

Of course, poor people usually starve first. Who needs guns?

[barnesfoto]

Ah yes! Al Gore's Book is responsible!
As long as we are on the topic of the Unibomber, it should be pointed out that Ted K was an engineer, a trait found in many terrorists, including Mohammed Atta.

Back to Lee: The book that Lee was most obsessed with seems to be "My Ismael" by Daniel Quinn. [[As usual, our rightist friends picked one line from the data and ran with it!)
If should come as no surprise that Lee harbored many anti-government sentiments like the engineer who flew his plane into the IRS building a year or so ago [[You all might remember Rev Al, er Pito's admiring post about him)

Nor should it come as any surprise that Lee harbored the same sort of paranoid feelings about illegal immigrants that our friends on this board have endlessly typed. Here's one from his list of demands:

5. Immigration: Programs must be developed to find solutions to stopping ALL immigration pollution and the anchor baby filth that follows that. Find solutions to stopping it. Call for people in the world to develop solutions to stop it completely and permanently. Find solutions FOR these countries so they stop sending their
breeding populations to the US and the world to seek jobs and therefore breed more unwanted pollution babies.
FIND SOLUTIONS FOR THEM TO STOP THEIR HUMAN GROWTH AND THE EXPORTATION OF
THAT DISGUSTING FILTH! [[The first world is feeding the population growth of the Third World and those
human families are going to where the food is! They must stop procreating new humans looking for nonexistant
jobs!)

.

Don't suppose that any of the illegal immigrant hysteria that the right is flooding us with had anything to do with his rampage...No, it must be that pesky Al Gore again. It's almost as though somebody is paying people to keep bringing up Al Gore! The election was ten years ago, we're not supposed to talk about Bush anymore, yet Al Gore keeps popping up!

Don't suppose that this is any sort of indicator that it's too easy for crazy people to get guns and ammo, or that we need a better system of mental health care in this country...nope, it must be Al Gore again! It's mind boggling, the number of things that Al Gore seems to be responsible for, [[besides being such a wuss that he couldn't mention George Bush's resume in the 2k campaign)

[Papasito]

I thought the right wing radio crowd took yesterday's event way too far. They did thier best to paint environmentalists as a one screw's turn from going berzerk.

Now the next time some nutjob righty goes berzerk and the media blitzes the right wing, the talkers will have no rigth to complain. As long as they keep making wackos a political issue, it works both ways.

Anyone with a brain knows that not all environmentalists are violent nutjobs, just like all muslims are not terrorists, just like all right wingers aren't warmongers, so on and so on.

[[Naturally, most of the folks who yammer about "overpopulation" are referring to people who are some shade of brown, rather than themselves).

If we are talking color, aren't Asians [[China) the most populous?
As far as I am concerned with population control, people shouldn't be having babies unless they have the means to support them and the committment to raise them. Hmmm what a concept...

I have had 2, that was enough. Having more would cramp thier quality of life, and spread thin the time I can spend with them. It takes a LOT of effort, time and money to raise kids. It's a lifetime committment. I see some people having 4 and 5 kids without having a pot to piss in and totally being unable to ever offer them all a College education or a bright future. Why? Why do it? It's not fair to the kids.

[oladub]

bp, I guess you didn't pick up on my point about cap and trade food shortages having the potential to cause mass starvation which would make the shootings of anyone mentioned in this thread small potatoes. Although no one said that Al Gore's book was responsible for personal ecological terrorism, there is a delicious irony in ecological terrorists [[plural) having him on their reading list. After we hear so much about violent rhetoric on the right, it turns out the left has it's share of wackos too.

No one brought up 'immigrants' or 'various shades of brown people' either except you. Good point though about Mohamed Atta being an engineer. I think there were two engineers among the 19 crew members but at least three were 'immigrants' as you call them. The rest had legal or semi-legal immigration status.

The 'filth' referred to in #5 is probably related to the filthy children mentioned in #1, the filth of civilization mentioned in #4, humans are filthy in #6, and the comment made after #11. “Humans are the most destructive, filthy, pollutive creatures around and are wrecking what's left of the planet with their false morals and breeding culture.” All human beings were filthy according to Mr. Lee; not just immigrants. I think his larger concern is people vs. nature. Immigration was just listed as one of the things allowing or encouraging human overpopulation in his mind and he didn't differentiate legal immigration vs. illegal aliens. He is still a leftist. I'll bet he even supports abortion which, by the way, eliminates a higher percentage of brown babies; just one of those liberal quirks like eliminating food for cap and trade credits in a hungry world while Al Gore profits as an owner of the cap and trade exchange.

Papasito brings up an interesting point. Are Asians 'brown people' or yellow people in your book? What about Eurasian children? I see a lot of them in college towns and they don't look very brown to me. Of course, they aren't albinos either.


Papasito, you are too kind. I told my kids that I would pay for up to four year of college room and board and they could go to any college they wanted as long as they paid their own tuition. They worked their tails off in high school and college and all graduated in 3-4 years with zero debt. They are almost as hard working as Asians.

Thanks for un-confusing me. But isn't it funny how the Travel Channel has food shows and the Food Network has travel shows.

Berserk gunwoman this time:

PHILADELPHIA – Minutes after a woman was suspended from her job at a Kraft Foods Inc. plant and was escorted out, she returned with a handgun and opened fire, killing two people and critically injuring a third before being taken into custody, police said.
